Mapping Your Data To The Default Schema; Viewing The Default Directory Schema - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.01 - DEPLOYMENT Deployment Manual

Mapping Your Data to the Default Schema

• A set of mandatory attributes
• A set of allowed attributes
For an example of a standard object class as it appears in the schema, refer to
"Schema Format," on page 40.
As is the case for all of the Directory Server's schema, object classes are defined and
stored directly in Directory Server. This means that you can both query and change
your directory's schema with standard LDAP operations.
Mapping Your Data to the Default Schema
The data you identified during your site survey, as described in "Performing a Site
Survey," on page 28, must be mapped to the existing directory default schema.
This section describes how to view the existing default schema and provides a
method for mapping your data to the appropriate existing schema elements.
If you find elements in your schema that do not match the existing default schema,
you may need to create custom object classes and attributes. Refer to "Customizing
the Schema," on page 46 for more information.

Viewing the Default Directory Schema

The default directory schema is stored in the following place:
/usr/netscape/servers/slapd-
This directory contains all of the common schema for the Netscape products. The
LDAPv3 standard user and organization schema can be found in the
file. The configuration schema used by earlier version of the directory can be found
in the
NOTE
For more information about each object class and attribute found in directory, refer
to the Netscape Schema Reference Guide. For more information about the schema
files and directory configuration attributes, refer to Netscape Directory Server
Configuration, Command, and File Reference.
